General elections were held in Solomon Islands on 17 April 2024 to determine the composition of the 12th Parliament.[1][2] Initially planned for 2023, parliament voted in 2022 to delay the elections. Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare claimed the country could not afford to have an election in the same year the Solomon Islands were hosting the Pacific Games. The opposition condemned the delay and accused Sogavare of a power grab.[3]
A major campaign issue included the country's ties with China; however, domestic issues were a primary concern amongst many voters, including the cost of living, the national debt and medicine shortages. Eight parties and ten independents won seats. Prime Minister Sogavare's Ownership, Unity and Responsibility Party (OUR) won the most seats, securing 15, but fell short of a majority. The opposition Coalition for Accountability, Reform and Empowerment (CARE) bloc, made up of the Democratic Party, Democratic Alliance and the Umi for Change Party, won a combined 13 seats. Another opposition party, the United Party (UP), secured six seats.
After the election, the OUR Party established the Coalition of National Unity and Transformation with the Kadere and People First parties. On 29 April, Sogavare announced he would not seek another term as prime minister in the 2 May parliamentary vote. The coalition nominated Foreign Minister Jeremiah Manele in his place, while CARE, UP and the Solomon Islands Party for Rural Advancement (SIPRA) selected Matthew Wale. Manele went on to defeat Wale, with the support of most of the independents.[4]
